(About the author) |
| | | A very cool VB space simulation game. This project is for everyone that claims VB can't be used as a game engine. Using home-made buffering methods, I re-wrote the Raptor game engine in VB. Your ship shoots, the bad guys shoot, ships explode, music is played (mp3 format) - this engine has everything. If you've liked the little arcade games people have posted (pong, etc.), you'll be blown away by this full-scale game using hundreds of blits simultaneously. Everything you need is included (including the ocx for playing mp3's), and the code is very concise, clever, and fast. One thing - it's not quite commented fully and the user interface needs some work. I had to rush and finish it for a school project, so there is much left to be done. I am looking for someone to do custom graphics (I am using the ones from Raptor for now) and I will revamp the game to be entirely like Raptor (level editors, weapon upgrades, etc.) for commercial distribution. Contact me (tannerhelland@hotmail.com) if interested.
BTW - use the arrow keys to move and the space bar to shoot.

The code in question was a special
"addition" to my presentation at school
of my final project. It's commented
out here, but basically it installed
Doom onto my teacher's machine and made
the machine boot up to it...several
hundred times. A good joke, and I
didn't even realize that it was still
in there. I've uploaded a new version
without that - sorry for any problems
it might have caused.

I read your comment and admit I haven't
downlaoded this one yet. I was just
thinking, if you "revamp it to be
entirely like raptor" wouldn't that be
a waste of your time? I think you
should revamp it like raptor and make
it better than raptor, In response to
the other message about the cheat menu
- if you absolutely MUST have cheats,
make them yourself, I admit in every
game I make there are cheats to get
further ahead but I made them only for
testing on the winning sequence. Thanks

To make it better then Raptor, you must
first make it at least as good as
Raptor :)

Cheats suck and shouldn't even be
included in the final version of a
program. It defeats the entire purpose
of writing a game if you allow the user
to bypass all of your code just to see
the ending.

I hate games that mess with my screen
settings and don't return them to their
original settings.

Looks like a cool game, but with the
creats, you should have the cheats only
avaliable when the user completes the
game of a level, or gets a high score
or something! Anyway, this looks great!
Voted Excelent!

How you get raptor graphics? Can you
send me sprites and backgroud?
You can
see something of mine at source
planet.
Thank you, hope to hear you

<COUGH> Raptor <COUGH>. Great Game. A
lot like this other game i bought about
5 years ago.

Most gamers play the game without
cheats, only the pathetic ones will use
cheats, I know a lot of gamers that
don't use cheats at all, even after
finishing the game.
With the
settings, it shouldn't be hard to fix
it so on Form_Unload it returns the
settings to normal.
